I’m having some trouble with the following question and need some help, thanks.

Question

Jim is a furniture salesman. His weekly pay is $300 plus 3.5% of his total sales for the week. Jim sells x dollars’ worth of furniture during the week. Write a function, p(c), which can be used to determine his pay for the week.

Answer 1

Well the independent variable is either x or c!

s represents sales

p(s) = 300 + 0.035s
